Chapter 116

“What’s wrong, Susan?” Ben was even more confused.

“Are you still acting like you don’t know?” Susan was very mad and started crying.

Did Ben take her for a fool?

If he didn’t like her anymore and wanted to be with someone else, he could just say it.

Was he afraid that she would hold onto him?

Did he need to use this method to deceive her?

Ben panicked when he saw Susan crying.

He wanted to hug Susan.

However, Susan pushed him away forcefully.

Susan sniffed and said, “I was wrong. People like you are not worthy of me crying for you at all! Ben, if you don’t want to say it, I’ll help you. From today onwards, we’re going to get divorced, and I’ll set you free!”

After saying that, Susan didn’t want to stay any longer. She turned around to leave.

Ben’s pupils rapidly contracted.

What the hell was going on?

Wasn’t Susan happy that he had removed his scars?

Was she blaming him for lying to her?

But it wasn’t to the point of divorce, was it?

At this moment, Ben couldn’t be bothered to ponder.

He grabbed Susan and held her tightly in his arms.

“Ben, let go of me!” Susan pushed Ben away angrily.

However, Ben hugged her tightly.

13:19 Even though Susan had tried her best, she was unable to break free.

“What do you want?” Susan was on the verge of a mental breakdown. “Ben, you were the one who flirted with me and said you wanted our relationship to grow. Now, you’ve fallen for someone else. If you don’t have feelings for me anymore, just tell me. I’ll move on. Why are you lying to me like this?”

Susan tried to fight back her tears, but they flowed like a busted water pipe.

Her tears were scorching, and each one felt like it landed right on Ben’s heart.

Ben felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his voice was slightly hoarse. “I’ve never liked anyone else. I only like you.”

“You’re lying.” Susan didn’t believe him at all. “You’re not on a business trip at all, Ben. You know where you are and who you’re with.”

Ben was briefly stunned before he swiftly replied, “I can explain what happened in the hotel!”

“You two had lived together for three days. What’s the point of explaining?” Susan was even angrier.

Ben panicked. “Thomas and I are both guys! Nothing has happened in the past 3 days.”

“Thomas?” Susan frowned. “What does it have to do with him? I’m not talking about him!”

Ben was even more confused.

Susan was furious when she saw this. Ben was still trying to conceal it from her, even at this stage.

She couldn’t be bothered to expose Ben and said directly, “You don’t have to say anything. Let’s go and get a divorce decree, and I’ll set you free.”

“I don’t want to be set free!” Ben held onto Susan tightly.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Ben’s mind. He remembered something.

He looked at Susan in disbelief. “Don’t tell me that you think I’m with… Isabella?”

Susan immediately sneered. “Well, now you admit it.”

畔 5 13:19 If he wasn’t feeling guilty, why would Ben suddenly bring up Isabella?

It was true that he felt guilty.

Ben calmed down. “I can explain this.”

Susan sneered. “Go ahead and explain. I’d like to see what kind of story you can make up.”

Ben couldn’t help but have a headache because something about Isabella seemed really odd.

He didn’t know if Susan would believe him.

Ben took a deep breath and said, “Susan, I had to use a special potion to remove the scar on my face.

It will take about three days. I wanted to surprise you, so I lied about going on a business trip. In fact, I went to a hotel with Thomas to get rid of the scar.”

Susan was unmoved. “Oh? You hid it from me and told Isabella? How did she know you.

were in the hotel?”

Ben looked distressed. “The strange part is, I don’t know how she found out.”

Susan looked at him with a mocking expression. She believed Ben was making up a story.

With a bitter smile, Ben replied, “Honestly, something unusual happened yesterday while I was at the hotel with Thomas. After the waiter entered the presidential suite, he sneakily took a photo of something. Thomas and I caught him and questioned him.”

1 “And then?” Susan asked with a hint of concentration in her eyes.

“Then, the waiter told me that a woman had given him some money and asked him to take a picture of me. Just a casual photo, didn’t even need to include my face,” Ben explained with a frown. “I found it very odd, so I decided to investigate further. It turns out, the woman was Isabella! She was staying in another presidential suite.”

Susan was momentarily taken aback.

“I can’t figure out why she knows my whereabouts or why she did such a thing. So, I decided to let the waiter take the photo and wait. I want to see what will happen next.” As Ben spoke, he grew a little irritated. “She didn’t use this photo to cause trouble for you, did she?”

“Wait!” Susan glanced at Ben and quickly opened her WhatsApp.

3 That post had already been deleted.

However, for some reason, Susan had saved these two photos before.

At this moment, it was time to examine things closely.

Susan clicked on the two photos and examined them with her eyes wide open.

The layout and decoration were indeed exactly the same.

Susan stared at it for a long time before she finally noticed something was wrong.

There was a faint shadow of a tree on the window of the room where Ben was staying.

However, Isabella’s room didn’t have that tree.

Therefore… the two of them were not in the same room at all.

They were just two different rooms with the same layout and decoration!

If one did not look carefully, they wouldn’t be able to tell.

In other words, since Isabella had employed this method, it indicated that there was nothing happening between her and Ben.

Although there was still something strange about it, Susan still believed that Ben was innocent.

Susan let out a long’sigh of relief.

Putting down her phone, she looked up at the bewildered Ben and couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

“I’m sorry. Does your face hurt?”

Ben quickly shook his head. “No, it doesn’t hurt at all! But Susan, what exactly did Isabella do?”

Susan showed Ben these two photos.

Ben glanced at it, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He thought that Isabella had hired someone to take photos of him because he had drugged her and she wanted to take revenge!

Ben aimed to provoke the hornet’s nest, so he let that waiter take the photo. He wanted to *Nas 13:19 know what she was going to do.

However, Isabella’s method of revenge was actually to approach Susan, insinuating that she and Ben had an affair?

It was indeed disgusting to Ben.

Ben took a deep breath and said slowly, “I don’t think that’s enough to make you believe her, right?”
